Johnny McLaughlin of Heartbreaking Dawns

Johnny McLaughlin is a well known and highly respected chef and hot sauce creator that began his Heartbreaking Dawns company just under 2 years ago. Johnny and his wife, Nicole started out with only 3 hot sauces, and have since grown their product line to over 50 items.

I visited Peppers.com’s store this past weekend to see Johnny McLaughlin and Nicole Ramsperger of Heartbreaking Dawns. They were sampling their sauces on ribs, chili, scalloped potatoes and mac and cheese.
